Create a Schedule

A schedule is a set of rules for triggering a job. Create a schedule to apply to one or more jobs. Once applied, the job sessions are run as defined by the parameters of the schedule.

Best Practice: Overlapping schedules may slow down your network. Decrease the strain on your network by configuring multiple schedules to run at different times or days of the week.

  • View the schedules that are already set up to determine if you have one that suits your requirements. See Edit a Schedule.
